I am grateful that what goes in politics goes under the table.
Unfortunately, humanity as well had been taken also under the table while it should always be above the table.

The tragedy of Gaza and the Gazan Women neither should pass under the table nor should be off the table. I can't express how much I hate that I don't have a table , yet having a pen, and fingers allows me to do What I am obliged to do and show the few people I can show, that the Gazan massacre is not over, the tragedy has just started. We fear from the storm what follows it, and we are now in "what follows".

Around five months ago, Gaza strip was attacked by the Israeli Forces that left nothing but demolished cities, and shattered bodies all around, waiting to be buried. Weeks ago, A Gazan woman appeared on a news channel explaining the misery she, along with her family, suffers each day. I was shocked to know that in such a century, when you can get a machine to serve you tea, there's a women who stays awake all night to protect her children from a snake that might attack at any time, since she lives in a tent in one of the recently established camps in Gaza. She lost her husband, and her house, definitely there are no jobs in Gaza. No water, No food, No security, if I keep on I will end up with a thousand No (s).even listening to this woman hurts. She's a mother! Any mother on earth would die to protect her child from Flu or some fever, and this woman is a mother, but she's not fighting Flu, she's fighting a snake. Nothing came to my mind except one question!! "What if the snake attacks? What will she do??" She will only be able to watch one of her sons following his father's path, she'll yell, shout, and beg for help, But one of my no (s) will appear, there is no gas for our ambulances. She called for the Arab leaders. I had no idea why was she blaming them! They are busy building huge malls to prove to the west that they, too, can have building and they aren't only Bedouins who use camels as a mean of transportation.

Where is our conscience??
Personally, guilt has been hunting me ever since the massacre. Those huge numbers made me lose faith in me, ever since I felt that I have to do something or write something each day.
I still laugh. I still cry. I am still sarcastic. I am still Roqayah. I'm just less of a Palestinian. And this is a thing I thought that would never change!!!!

Each time I read about Karbala story, And that massacre against Al- Hussein (a s), I say that I would have fought with him, stayed with the rest of the family, and refused to let swords reach him before reaching me…. Now I know that I would have become another criminal who put a golden shutter on their mouths, however this time I'm not getting any Gold.

Don't forget those women, for the sake of NOT having a day when we add a "No Future" to our list.

An Israeli In Cairo !!???

Yes, yes, an Israeli musician is performing in Cairo, Egypt's Capital. Yes, Yes, Egyptians bought tickets to Daniel Barenboim's concert in the Egyptian Opera House.
Usually, the word "Israeli" is the perfect synonym for "enemy" in Egypt and the Arab world. Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with 'the enemy' though; putting by that an end for the long devastating wars. Egyptians, until this day, are still fighting to keep the diplomating relations from developing to become normal, or even more!!!

Who is Daniel Barenboim???

Daniel Barenboim is an Israeli Jewish musician, who also holds other several passports, Spanish, Argentine, and, surprisingly, an honorary Palestinian Passport.
The best way to know Barenboim is his own sayings:
"There is no way Israel will deal with the Palestinians if the Palestinians do not understand the suffering of the Jewish people ... [N]now fifty years after that we have to accept co-responsibility for Palestinian suffering. Until an Israeli leader is able to utter those words there will be no peace."
In an interview with British music critic Norman Lebrecht in 2003, he accused the Israeli government of behaving in a manner which was, "morally abhorrent and strategically wrong", and, "putting in danger the very existence of the state of Israel."
I have no doubt that the existence of Israel isn't our first concern, in fact the exact opposite is, however, having a known Israeli musician defending the Palestinian rights, accusing the Israeli government for the crimes committed towards Palestinians, accusing the settlers, performing in Ramallah twice (in spite of the Israeli government's warnings), and cancelling several performances because of the last Gazan massacre, is appreciated. This even reminds me of the Jewish rabbis who visited the president of the Islamic Republic of Iran to show support against the Israeli forces, and the Israeli existence.

What about the timing?

Is the Egyptian government that stupid to bring up such a sensitive case while it's already involved into another major one? Why did Egypt wait until now to bring up BACK the Hizbollah members' case while it was revealed by authorities, months ago? Egypt knows that there's only one spotlight for the opposition and the conservatives, and this brand new case will absolutely distract the eyes that were standing against Egypt's step in reporting Sayyed Hassan Nasrullah to the United Nations Security Council. Egypt is playing a clever game. Clever Egypt forgot whom their friends, Israel and the US, described as the smartest politician. Well I'll save you time, it's his Excellency Sayyed Hassan Nasrullah. Most probably the one party that gave Israel, the un-defeat able army, a fine headache, will make Abul Ghait roll around himself singing 'Hava Naguila'.

Israel will always be the enemy, indeed. However, what about those who only hold the passport to travel and live, the ones who aren't Israelis, they are only referred to as ones. What about those who are the minority of the minority in Israel, that are against the existence of Israel, and are against the immigration to the holy land, at the first place??

Well, 'Israel' is the enemy, when the thought or the action is....After all, we all know Arabs who are given Islamic names, who pray towards Kaaba, and yet they are Israelis,,, Thoughts and Actions.

A Taste of Irony

This is probably why these people DON'T represent me anymore. Yes, I'm against peace. Peace that will shut your mouth, even if God should be speaking through it.

At least, I know one thing, MY Allah does not speak through Tantawwi's. My Allah is God who does not leave children burning in Gaza, My Allah is Allah ,, Who will never let his blessing in the hands that will someday shake the enemy's. My Allah does not know nationality, He knows well humanity. My Allah will never enjoy kosher while it's baked in Palestinian stolen oil. Apparently, You are the exact opposite of my Allah, especially that my Allah does not Bow. If you are Islam, then let everyone know, I'm not a muslim.
